I am using 64-bit version, and there is a problem. I want to change watermark text on desktop (right, down corner of screen). It is possible by changing user32.dll.mui in resource editor. I edited 32 and 64-bit file in WOW64 and System32 folder, but text on screen is same. Nothing changed... I replaced backups in C:\Windows\winsxs because it may use system file from backup, but nothing. How can I successfully apply modified system files on 64-bit Windows OS?

So you want to change the Watermark

Windows 7
Evaluation Copy, Build 7600

to

Windows 7
Light Edition Build 7600

One might ask... did you EVER use a REAL Legitimate Product Key (YOUR key when you PURCHASED Win7) and ACTIVATE it? Evaluation Keys will not make it Permanent/Activated. Why in the world would you want to hack your OS otherwise? The indication is that you have an Evaluation (Time-Bombed) Version and not a Retail Version.http://www.sevenforu...-7-desktop.html

You don't understand... I don't want to remove watermark, my Windows is Activated, i just want to change it because of customization.

Here's the point - a WATERMARK shouldn't even EXIST! And you shouldn't even be able to ACTIVATE an "Evaluation" version. The ONLY way you can activate an Evaluation version (which is ENTERPRISE) is via a MAK key (ENTERPRISE) - see this -http://social.techne...a9-a6335ad52b26So...1 - You have Windows 7 Enterprise Evaluation Installed2 - You obtained a MAK (or maybe a KMS key and it's Activated3 - You STILL have the "Evaluation" watermarkHow odd!!!
